Frank also shared photos of select merch, including a Channel Orange-themed double-sided poster and blonded RADIO shirt, on his Instagram Stories.
The poster and a few other limited edition colorways of the blonded RADIO shirt are available here.
It appears the banner image on Ocean’s Spotify profile has been changed to the collage on the double-sided poster.
On this day 10 years ago, Ocean released Channel Orange, which earned him a Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album and an Album of the Year nomination. Om’Mas Keith, one of the handful of collaborators on Channel Orange, recently caught up with Complex to discuss this particular body of art which he considers to be “one of the most incredible fucking albums ever.”
